Default Morris Knife Flaperons

Hi Termigator,
I should've added that this is the ARF. Hatches are on the bottom. I definately would've done it different on the kit. There's just no room in there to work, and you have to reach up under where the hatch sits. I had to pull an all niter to get those servo trays in, and already had cutout new ones for the 3421's I'm running. If you're not very careful with the height placement or you don't get them level with the surface of the wing they arms hit hit the hatch cover. We're talking fractions of an inch here. 1/16" off, and it doesn't work. It's one of those things you have to get right the first time or there's gonna be some hackin' going on. hehe I had also thought about putting the tank outside, but wanted to keep it clean. Plumbing worked out better that way too. I'm running the Saito 72, and the lines go straight to the motor the way it worked out. I may go with a Kit of the ARF down the road or maybe a a small OMP Edge or GS Edge. I like these profiles...they are neat.

akahoverit,
Thanks a bunch for the info. That's the way I had it with the exception of the switch. I can fix that one in a couple seconds. I think I'll probably go with a few flight modes after the thing is setup, and it checks out on the first few flights. Thanks again for the info, and thr heads up on knife-edge.
